A Treasury of Irish/Celtic Gifts
of kinds
These pages look to the Future
of Celtic/Irish Studies with the hope that as study and research progress
we all can avoid the narrowing of scope of interest which comes from ethnocentric
bias (Even Celtic Peoples can be biased you know!!). Do not expect anything
here to be politically correct-how could we make these treasures conform
to the valid and individual perspectives of each and every reader!?
In addition to folklore I provide
direct links to sources of primary information from the " Horse's" mouths.
Do not believe that a secondary source accurately conveys the current point
of view or position of any political group. Such views are best expressed
by the groups themselves,and, fortunately,are adapted and change with time.
Also,be aware of the way your own personal,and cultural, folklore has perhaps
also twisted reality for the dramatic effect of a good story or for its
own political ends. I ask you to view these cultural treasures primairly-
as artifacts-as expressions and creations which are valid and important
without reference to politically and culturally charged contexts. It is
only then that they can become available to all of humankind as dynamic
resources.
Now- these works of art and
creativity only glow here on your screen as static artifacts, but, they
can become truly alive if you will take a minute or so to use them, exercise
them, and, after installing them within your own mind- pass them on to
another.
I hope that you will do this do this so that the accomplishments of generations
of those who have come before us to do battle with the deamons of this
world will lead to the immediate improvement of the human condition
It is difficult keeping these pages going!
